Top 5 Coffee Shops in Little River

1) Plant The Future Cafe 

8484 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33138

Decor sculpted by the earth, art brought to life by local creatives, and coffee prepared with intention sum up Plant The Future Café, a biophilic café along NE 2nd Ave in Little River.

Spanning a generous indoor-outdoor layout filled with plants, the café doubles as a living art space where moss-covered walls, botanical installations, and nature-inspired elements surround visitors at every turn.

The menu enhances the experience with specialty coffee, matcha, herbal teas, and fresh pastries, best devoured beneath hanging plants, each drink and bite a vital part of the sensory escape.

With nature serving as canvas and inspiration, Plant The Future Café turns coffee into a rewarding moment within a leafy hub that promises a break from the city's chaos.

2) Imperial Moto Café 

7299 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33150

Imperial Moto may be known for motorcycle gear, but around Little River, it's also recognized as the ultimate spot for coffee and people-watching — especially when a pastry or two enters the picture (and yes, it usually does).

You don't need to be into bikes to enjoy the space, which offers a few couches near the front, several tables spread throughout, and a generally relaxed approach to guests who plan on hanging out for a bit, since it's rarely crowded, except on weekends or during occasional burrito pop-up events.

For your coffee, you'll find the usual espresso drinks alongside brewed options, a mix of sweet and savory empanadas, pastries, breakfast plates, and lunch items.

If coffee isn't your thing, the menu also covers matcha, turmeric, and chai lattes, along with teas and smoothies — all of which pair well with flaky croissants, oversized cookies, and pressed sandwiches.

All things considered, Imperial Moto earns its place on this list, regardless of whether you arrive on two wheels or four.

3) Surry Hills Coffee | Brunch Miami 

8226 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33138

Surry Hills Coffee | Brunch Miami brings Australian coffee roots with Argentine influence to Little River, though the end result doesn’t pin itself to either place literally.

What it delivers instead is something recognizable yet equally distinctive — similar to the cafés you come across while traveling abroad, especially if good coffee and dependable Wi-Fi are your priorities.

True to that global café energy, Surry Hills' menu features brunch and coffee staples: espresso-based drinks, pastries baked fresh and displayed out front, sandwiches, salads, and egg-centered plates that naturally enhance their specialty coffee program.

And no, that's not an overstatement. 

Surry Hills' coffee lineup has RANGE, from familiar espresso drinks to more niche-focused options that reflect a broader, international approach to coffee.

Stick with the classics — Americano, cappuccino, flat white, or latte — or branch out into richer choices like a mocaccino or a dirty chai.

Tea drinkers are well covered too, with a curated selection that includes black teas sourced from India and Sri Lanka, Japanese kukicha, seasonal Taiwanese blends, matcha, and several tea lattes.

We promise it's one coffee shop you won't mind coming back to, again and again.

4) Vice City Bean Citadel 

8300 NE 2nd Ave Unit 110, Miami, FL 33138

Looking for robust sips, a crowd that matches your energy, and plenty of coffee creations to choose from? Let us introduce one of this list's strongest contenders: Vice City Bean.

Set inside The Citadel, a globally inspired gathering space in Little River, Vice City Bean features local and elevated specialty coffee, making it a reliable stop before your daily grind, a quick caffeine run, and a hangout spot for your afternoon downtime. 

Here, the fundamentals expand into distinct, Vice City Bean signature drinks, so you'll see classics like espresso, Americanos, cappuccinos, cortaditos, and lattes next to different types of iced coffee, cold brew, and rotating seasonal drinks — each cup reflecting consistent preparation, with careful attention given to milk texture and balanced flavors.

Those looking to add something sweet can check out the pastry case, stocked with rotating baked goods, such as croissants, donuts, Key lime pies, and vegan-friendly selections.

Pick up a latte and a pastry before continuing through the rest of The Citadel — chances are, you'll want the extra boost before moving on.

5) ARTPIE 

6732 NE 4th Ave, Miami, FL 33138

Coffee with a slice of pie?

That combination already deliciously answers the question.

Meet ARTPIE, a boutique café with one mission: to give you a curated selection of handcrafted hand-pies and coffee drinks you won't forget.

Here, you can order from more than 28 pie varieties, both sweet and savory, alongside vegetarian and vegan selections.

And if that's not enough to keep you curious, each pie is named after an influential woman, and the lineup continues to evolve, rotating through familiar favorites and newer seasonal additions. 

Think roasted red peppers with cheeses, organic chicken with olives and chili peppers, Spanish chorizo with sweet onions and mozzarella, and plant-based blends built around grains and vegetables for something salty (and guilt-free).

Then, for dessert, we're talking fruit-filled, chocolate-forward, and nut-based pies, designed to pair immaculately with ARTPIE's espresso-based drinks, affogatos, regional-style coffee specialties, and various tea blends.

Whichever direction you go, the result is always a WIN.
